Introduction
Data science demands versatility. Move away from your regular methods, challenge your ways of working, explore new ways of doing things more efficiently. On reminiscing about my old days, my initial years in data science, I had also got trapped by this devil of ‘complacency’. At one point, I was not challenging myself enough. I wasn’t experimenting with the ways of doing work. I accepted the things as they were, until I realized ‘Complacency is a state of mind that exists only in retrospective: it has to be shattered before being ascertained’.
